Akuma Becomes Playable in Resident Evil 2 Through Fan-Made Mod

A legendary gaming hoax is transformed into reality, allowing players to combat zombies with iconic Street Fighter moves.

The mod, dubbed 'Akuma Mode', was inspired by an April Fool's joke from 1998 claiming Akuma could be unlocked in Resident Evil 2.
Developed by modders Captain Kashup, Snipz, and Zky, the mod features Akuma's signature moves like Shoryukens and Gohadokens.
Unlike the original hoax, the mod does not require multiple playthroughs or high rankings, making it accessible to all players.
The mod includes an alternate ending, adding a unique twist for players who defeat all special zombie characters.
Akuma's inclusion in Resident Evil 2 precedes his addition to the Street Fighter 6 roster, bridging two iconic Capcom franchises.
